Kaitlyn Pierce – Editor in Chief
Growing up in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts assured that Kaitlyn would be a true New England girl. She is a die hard New England sports fan, lover of all things visual, and local fashion activist working to bring more fashion to the Berkshires.
Her creativity emerged at a young age which was inspired in large part by her grandmothers. Both women were incredibly crafty and not only sewed their own clothing but were artists with a variety of mediums. Kaitlyn has always been a dreamer and began writing at a young age. All of the writing quickly translated to blogging by the age of 12 and her love of the web was born. After spending too much time making graphics with other people’s photos Kaitlyn decided to start taking her own. She spent more time taking photos than actually creating graphics and discovered a new passion in life, photography.
Her biggest joy in life comes from being a wife to her best friend Tom and a mother to her beautiful daughter, Sylvia. She is excited to welcome a second baby girl to their family in December.
